It all started with a Tumblr blog called Pretty Girls Making Ugly Faces, which went online back in 2011. This spawned a subreddit (PrettyGirlsUglyFaces) which now has over 45 thousand subscribers, and receives daily uploads from users. And yes, before anyone says it, men are also included and invited to participate in the fad – though there is a separate Handsome Guys Ugly Faces thread!

The aim of Ugly Faces is not just to provide side-splitting laughter, but also to show the world that even the most picture-perfect people on the Internet are still just people, and that nobody looks on-point all the time.
